Don’t worry about the government…

DR G.G. JACOBS (Eyre — Minister for Water) [8.34 pm]: […] In the time available to me, I want to talk about certain points raised by the speakers in this debate. The member for Gosnells recognised that the fines for bodies corporate of $125 000 and individuals of $62 500 might in fact be too low. I believe that the feeling of the other eight speakers was that it was probably about right. I think the member for Bassendean would recognise that the stick is probably big enough, as far as a fine is concerned. Obviously it will be a lot more substantial than it is at the moment, because this has historically fallen under the liquor act—sorry, the Litter Act. That was a Freudian slip!
